Quick Answer

What is Hartley Pecan?

Hartley Pecan is a rigid, wood-look WPC floor in a light brown shade, with a durable, heavy-traffic wear layer for a simple, carefree finish.

Is it waterproof?

Yes — 100% waterproof. Kitchen reality — dropped pots, splashes, and daily mop-and-go cleaning — won't faze the planks, as long as you wipe spills up promptly and dry any standing water. Not approved for outdoor installation; test the subfloor for moisture before installing.

How durable is it, and what traffic can it take?

Every plank is finished with a 20 mil wear layer — about 0.51 mm — recommended for heavy residential use and many light-commercial applications, providing excellent protection against everyday scratches, scuffs, and abrasion. It sits at the thicker, harder-wearing end of the range.

Will it hold up to daily life?

Dog nails, cat claws, litter grit, water-bowl splash — Hartley Pecan's 20 mil wear layer and finish resist the scratches and scuffs a pet household puts on a floor, whereas a thinner LVT wear layer marks more easily.

What does the plank surface look like?

Up close, Hartley Pecan shows broad cathedral sweeps arcing across the wider boards, with calmer, tighter grain filling the space between them. A few small swirl knots sit low on the planks and stay sparse, so the surface reads open and relaxed rather than busy. The printed surface keeps a soft, even brown across the face, with the taupe undertone catching in the lighter passages to give each board a gentle vintage character.

Quiet enough upstairs or in a condo?

The attached acoustic layer damps the hollow "click" sound characteristic of floating floors. Hartley Pecan is quieter underfoot than LVT with a loose pad — both for the walker and for rooms below in multi-story homes.

Is it safe for indoor air?

Yes — Hartley Pecan carries GREENGUARD Gold certification, independently tested for low chemical emissions. That matters most for households with allergies, asthma, or young children.

Will this color work in my room?

Hartley Pecan reads its best under soft, indirect light. Lit by gentle afternoon daylight rather than a strong window, the taupe woven through the brown keeps the tone quiet and even, never washed out and never heavy. Its warmth is restrained, so the color sits happily beside cool accents like soft green or grey as well as warm creams. In a dimmer corner it deepens by a shade, which only adds to the retro, inviting feel.

Overview

Broad cathedral sweeps run the length of Hartley Pecan, wide open arcs that give the wider boards a relaxed, almost vintage rhythm. Underneath, the color is a muted warm brown softened by a thread of taupe, so it stays warm without ever turning orange. A few small swirl knots drop low on the plank and break up the calm grain between the sweeps. It suits a retro dining room or a mid-century living space, and because the printed surface sits over a WPC core, Hartley Pecan is 100% waterproof against topical spills and backed by a lifetime residential warranty.

A muted, taupe-tempered brown with broad cathedral grain, Hartley Pecan brings warmth to a retro room without the orange.

Frequently asked questions

What does it look like installed in a real room?
In the photographed room, Hartley Pecan runs beneath a warm wood-tone dining table and a set of upholstered chairs with seafoam-green cushions. Soft white walls and a crisp white baseboard frame the floor, while a few potted berry branches add a spot of color to the mid-century setup. The warm, muted brown ties the wood-tone table to the cooler green seats, giving the whole dining room an easy, retro feel.
Will it match my cabinets?
Hartley Pecan is forgiving with cabinetry. The room pairs it with clean white trim, and that same soft tone works well on cabinets, since the muted brown floor keeps white from feeling stark. Warm wood-tone cabinets in a medium range also sit comfortably with it, echoing the floor's warmth, while cooler greys or sage give a calmer, more retro contrast.
Will it still look this bright in a windowless basement?
Because the color has real warmth and a light-to-mid depth, Hartley Pecan works well in a room with little or no natural light. Even without a window, the muted brown stays warm and readable under lamplight rather than going flat or grey, so it suits a basement family room or an interior dining space. Warm bulbs rather than cool-white ones let the taupe undertone stay soft.
Does this floor work with indoor plants?
The photographed room keeps it simple with a single planting, potted berry branches set near the table. Against Hartley Pecan's muted brown, green foliage reads fresh and a little retro, and a statement plant or two is all this floor needs; the warm tone flatters greenery without competing with it. Trailing greens or a leafy fig would work just as easily.
